This role involves overseeing internal crowds and external vendors to scale human-labeled data, workforce, and localization infrastructure for generative AI features across a software ecosystem. Key responsibilities include managing statements of work, performing quality audits, establishing feedback loops between Red-Teaming and Post-Ship Insights groups, and developing tools and infrastructure roadmaps. The position requires expertise in vendor management, data operations, and scaling human-labeled data pipelines including goldsets for LLM-judge validation. Candidates must be proficient with SQL and BI tools to track performance metrics while navigating complex requirements like internationalization and localization across multiple markets to ensure compliant reporting for AI safety and content risk.

What you'll do

  • Manage relationships and performance for internal crowd workers and external vendor partners across evaluation, red-teaming, and data generation.
  • Oversee the scoping, resourcing, and execution of work through statements of work and workforce calibration.
  • Establish feedback loops and reporting mechanisms between Red-Teaming, Evaluation, and Post-Ship Insights teams.
  • Develop and maintain documentation for processes, systems, and data flows across safety evaluation functions.
  • Translate operational requirements into technical specifications to drive the development of tools and infrastructure.
  • Manage the scaling of human-labeled data pipelines, including goldset management and governance for LLM-judge validation.
  • Drive the expansion of data infrastructure to support localization across multiple languages and cultural contexts.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field.
  • Experience in vendor/partner management, data operations, or program management, ideally supporting ML/AI evaluation, annotation, or data labeling programs.
  • Experience managing external vendor relationships and internal annotation operations at scale, including statements of work, budget, and performance management.
  • Experience scaling human-labeled data pipelines, including dataset creation, quality calibration, storage, and governance.
  • Experience scaling operations across multiple international markets with multilingual and multicultural vendor workforces.
  • Experience coordinating across interdependent teams to close feedback loops and translating operational needs into tooling or infrastructure roadmaps.
  • Proficiency with data tools like SQL and spreadsheets/BI tools to track performance, cost, and quality metrics.
  • Experience in AI safety evaluation, red-teaming, or Responsible AI programs (preferred); familiarity with goldset design or LLM-judge workflows (preferred).
